This week on the program to quote my father in the late 90s and the early 2000s.
What is this shit?
We're talking about Lucy.
I'm Andrew Juppen.
9% Steven Sadek.
Eric Siska.
Lucy.
Hi, Lucy.
Hi, Lucy.
And we hate movies.
Hello, everyone. Welcome to We Hate Movies.
Thank you for tuning in. As always, the summer blockbuster extravaganza continues this week, folks, as we talk about 89 minutes of whatever the shit this is.
It's Luke Bisson's Lucy from 2014.
My God, let me just say we're out.
We got four seats on a one-way bullet train to Stupid City.
Oh, you sure do.
Oh, God, it's dumb.
And I've been seeing like people I respect saying that it's smart.
Oh, no.
I can say it is okay to like a movie.
I saw this today for the first time I dodged the bullet back in 2014.
Checked letterbox.
My hair went white.
My glasses fell off my head.
I don't even wear glasses
because I couldn't believe
the amount of people
that love this movie
I will say I am not a lover of this movie
but I enjoy this movie quite a bit
I'm going to be the defender
here I feel this is
wow it is silly
it's just it's it's it's
it's dumbly watchable
I think it's much more
energetic and actually
interesting in a stupid way
stupidest way possible
right
Chris that would be me
that would be me
for lookouts.
Or lockout, rather.
The lockout.
What is lookout or lockout?
Lockout is the carpenter ripoff
that nearly got him fucking put in the slammer
because they sued him to oblivion over.
Which is, you know what?
Yes. So it's basically escaped
from New York, but it's set in outer space
and I feel like that's different enough.
And the Guy Pearce movie?
Yes.
Put Tarantino in jail.
Put all these people. Everyone's ripping
off everyone. I don't think it's that big of
deal. And to be clear, to underline Chris's
statement, when he says him in jail, he means
Luke Besan in jail. And Luke Mason has been
dodging the jailers for quite some time.
He's incredible. Put him in jail
for other reasons.
There's plenty of other reasons.
Many, many reasons, I would say.
I mean, look, the fifth element's a great movie.
And I grew up liking the professional
because I was age-appropriate to have a crush on
Natalie Portman at the time. I think we're the same age.
So I was like, oh, cool, I have a cute little crush
on this girl. Then you've become an adult and you're like,
that ain't cool. I hadn't kept up with
the, I mean, it's not good just on
its face, but once you read what Besson
was doing around that time, when
you see something like that, you're like, no,
okay, that's bad. Okay, that's bad.
When you watch it, you can watch the professional,
like, oh, or specifically
the American cut of the professional,
not Leon. You can watch that movie
and be like, oh, it's a cool action movie,
Lone Wolf and Cub kind of a thing.
Gary Oldman, my God. And then
well, Lone Wolf wasn't trying to
finger blast the cub dude that's the difference and besin will be like oh no he wants to finger blaster
but he's holding back and you're like i see i see well i mean it's you know what i still think that's
it's a it's a good movie despite that i mean i'm not gonna i'm not gonna take james mason to trial for
lolito you know oh by the collar i got that guy i'm i'm taking him right there eric i mean
this is the thing with bassant i think this is true of all of his it's just he was better in the
90s than he is now.
It's dumb ideas, done
entertainingly, and
it's always first half better than
second half. Yes. Usually.
He's a pretty effective stylist.
We start, I mean, this movie
starts a little bit, Eric, I'm going to take your
hat really quick and put it on it and say,
should have called this movie 2000 a
dumb. Yes.
Oh, thank you.
Wow.
Excellent.
Got a couple of those coming up.
Oh, really? This is a tree of life
beginning here. We get to see
some big old dumb ape, which
we're led to believe will be
you know, a precursor to man.
That's Lucy. It's the
Missing Link. It's the original Lucy. Right there. She's there
saying hi to everybody. Yeah, hi, everybody.
It's me, Lucy. I'm an ape now.
Over. I will say,
oh, hey,
it's me. The missing link.
Someone get the cigarettes away from that ape.
Here's Thorough
Birch ape with me. Hi, Thorough
Birch ape. You're another person.
I'm going to do some Tom Waits covers.
Just sit out.
Anyone want to listen to Blues Hammer?
No, Colin, go home.
Colin, go home.
You don't deserve to be out with the others.
Go home.
Nice point about this movie.
I'll say, you have an honest to goodness credit sequence, which is cool.
I do get to settle into this 89-minute movie,
although it's all like cell splitting stuff set to like a cool beat,
so it just feels like you're watching the intro to House.
X-Men.
That's sort of what's going on.
Kind of feels here.
I mean, we start, I think with a, I mean, we go from April Lucy, we go straight to, what have we done with this, Taiwan, and then Richard with the red glasses, my God, kill this man.
Well, you've got this, like, you know, montage of Scarlet talking and, like, life was given to us a billion years ago, and she goes, and what have we done with it?
And then it just cuts to clips of Asia, specifically Asian people polluting.
Yes, yeah.
And I was like, wait a second.
There was a lot of scooters as well
And some of those scooters are probably
You know efficient on the road
Yeah
There's one dude on a bike
That's got a Denver Nuggets t-shirt
And I'm like I'm glad that the Denver Nuggets
Travel to Taipei, that's pretty cool
Wow
Was that a
Was that a
They only won the conference final
That year
And it was it was a ditched champions
T-shirt
Those are cheap
I do think this beginning like
Again like the Luke Bissan
Like crime movie thing
It's a guy with a case and it's handcuffed to him.
That's pretty fun.
Like, this is the start of a movie I might watch.
Is this guy anybody I didn't look at him?
I think he's a Game of Throne.
You're on Greyjoy.
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
Okay.
He also.
As soon as he said it, as soon as I like, like, I did this sound strange, but like, I
recalled his eyes and was like, yep, that's the actor.
And must have gotten along with Scarlet because he's also in Ghosts in the Shell, which I also
have not seen.
I did see this now, but I have still not seen that.
No good.
I'll say that.
Well, at least she's not playing an Asian person or whatever happened and goes in the shell.
Yeah, she's just, that was a mess.
She didn't go full Emma Stone.
She didn't do it.
She is a white, here she's a white student.
She's like, but I got exams on Monday.
I'm like, I need a little more than that everybody.
Please God.
Because like she's got exams on Monday and also she's got this like horny roommate that wants to be an actor and is going on like, you know, probably you're getting molested audited.
the way she describes it.
But it's so weird because
real casting couch shit. There's no
characters here. Lucy's not a character.
I can't wait to go to Taipei and not speak the language.
Like what are you doing there? Why are you?
Like I know that students abroad don't often speak the language
but like this girl's going to be an actress and just like
doing what. Yeah. Well like the audition thing that
the roommate describes kind of sounds like it's like a chorus line
dancing kind of thing. Not a lot of like dialogue
in the native tongue of the land
I'd wager. But with Scarlett,
I don't know, maybe, and we're sitting here
like making more of a characterization than the movie actually
does, but like, maybe it's like
first semester, like
language immersion.
Sure. I don't know.
I kind of need anything. You don't know anything.
Anything about any character in this movie,
even Professor Norman,
which I found out his name. Morgan
Freeman's name I found out from the IMD.
Guys, I'm sorry, but you're, I think
the problem is you're only using 10% of your brain.
Oh, I think that's...
If you had used 20%, you would understand all this.
Or maybe if I used 3%, I'd understand it all, right?
If you could get it up there from the animals.
It's also like...
It's a... The 10% thing is as disproven as phrenology when this movie comes out,
but they're still like, I don't know, what if you used more of that?
It's like, no, everyone's...
It's not a true thing.
Yeah, but I'm inclined to be like, it's science fiction.
You need to, like, anchor that somehow.
And also, like, I don't...
give a shit.
That's a thing that has been like,
I know it's been disproven and other movies have addressed it
or whatever. And every time someone comes out with like,
well, you know, that doesn't happen. I'm like,
but you know she turns into a computer at the end of this movie.
The whole thing is just like, you know, smart people, right?
They can fly. They do Kung Fu. They can kill any.
It's just, I don't understand the correlation between being smart
and being Superman. Well, that's the difference.
Right. Right. I mean, if they kept it, like,
There is a cool movie here
if it's like this crime movie
and she takes this crazy drug
and she uses more percentage of her brain.
I'll even go that far.
But then like she has telekinesis.
She could read, like if it's all within the mind sphere,
it kind of, if you ground it that way,
she turns her hand into a paw
from the creature from the Black Lagoon, okay?
Yes.
We need, you know, there's that movie
that's sort of similar to this, like limitless.
This movie needs to be limited.
we need to have some boundaries
as to what is going on here.
See, that's what I like about it
is that it's not, like,
Limitless is the limited version of it
and it's boring as shit.
It's crap.
It's an absolute, oh my God, it's a snooze.
Credit to Lucy, I didn't turn this movie off
like I turned off limitless.
See, then there we go.
Listen, I'll say,
Limitless is a better movie than this.
I disagree entirely.
Guys, for the uninitiated, like myself
and many listeners, so limitless
is what,
we're a guess here. Bradley Cooper takes a smart pill
and then does Wall Street really fast?
Against Robert De Niro, kind of.
Yeah. I mean, it's the same thing in the case, in the sense of like,
he's taking more than he should. And it's doing more
to him than thought possible kind of a deal. But he doesn't turn it to
he doesn't have a lizard eye at any point in that. No.
She's trying to romance somebody, Abby, Abby Cornish, maybe.
It's a pretty engaging beginning
We're just smashed into these characters
Very like Tarantino-esque
Like you know that 90s crime movie thing
It could be very honey bunny kind of deal
It's like just go in there like
I promise you're gonna be fine
You know like do me this favor
And like she's like I don't want to do it
Like it's like there's a fun flashback
To like the meeting and like a club getting wasted
Like she's a party girl like that's what you kind of know about her
Quick to these nice quick shots of the
mouse up to the mouse trap. They cheated
with the gazelle. I hate
it much. I like this.
This is all energetic.
Like it's stupid,
but it's more like engaging
and more like, oh my God, things are
happening. It's not just back and forth,
back and forth, back and forth. Well, I mean,
I see what you're saying, but I guess like, I'm
not engaged by like cutting
to something so
stupidly literal, right? It's like
when she's trying, like, she's
considering whether or not she's going to do Richard
this favor. It cuts to like the mouse
getting just a little closer to the mouse trap. And then like when she's about to go
in, it's these cheetahs about to kill an antelope. Is everybody
paying attention? And it's also something that gets dropped after this
sequence. They give it up. Once she gets like the powers and shit, like all that stuff
is gone. If you're doing that, you got to be doing it, baby. That's got to be your movie. I'm
sorry. But hey, if that's stupid, but once she takes the pills
no longer stupid, she's using more of a brain.
Oh, I see. Yes. Yes. The movie. The movie.
The movie gets smarter as well.
Indeed.
The first movie that gets smarter as it goes on.
It's very special that way.
But yeah, so he's like, you know, just come on in, do this favor.
A little bit of a little bit of a crime money thing right here.
Like Mr. Jang is paying me $1,000 to deliver this to him or whatever.
I will give you $500 up front.
He says he does a little stuff sit in her cleave there.
And then all of a sudden she's like, I'm not doing it.
And he just handcuffs her to the thing.
You are now Lucy
Uh-huh
And she goes into this
It's like a hotel
Uh asking for Mr.
Jang to come down or whatever
And there's some fun back and forth
Where she doesn't want to give the
Uh, desk clerk, uh, her name there
But she's like, oh, I've got this briefcase
Richard gave it to me blah blah blah
And then all of a sudden
Just all these pipe hitting motherfuckers
Get off the elevator
And you know she's in for some trouble.
Also hilarious death right here.
Richard like in the window outside
giving the thumbs up like yeah you're doing
and then immediately shot in the head.
Beautiful. I really just love that.
So what's, why would they shoot him though, right?
I mean, it's a good question.
I don't know. These guys seem to kill everyone, Eric.
Yeah. I'm going to be honest.
The Koreans kind of just kill everybody here.
Sure.
It is weird. Yes, they're in Taipei, but everyone, this is a Korean gang in Taipei.
You know, sure.
That's what's going on.
And this brings a great point where I can stop us dead to complain about streaming setups.
So, often, you know, when we do movies for the show, I have the subtitles on just so I can make sure I'm getting all the deeds and names and whatnot.
And so I'm doing that with this and it's on Netflix and watching the movie and it's like, you know, it's fine.
I'm reading everything.
And then I start realizing after a while, I'm like, oh, there's definitely like longer than one line sequences where I'm getting Korean and I'm getting French and I'm not getting any subtitles.
and eventually
I took the English subtitles
off and just put the English language track on
and all of a sudden the Korean and French subtitles were there.
Oh, you're fucking kidding me.
Okay, well, I guess I needed to use more of my brain
to figure out how to watch this goddamn movie right.
It's disgusting.
I mean, how can you fix that thing?
I didn't have any subtitles on.
I actually thought it was a thing
the gag was...
On purpose.
She doesn't know what they're saying,
so that's why I'm not seeing it.
Okay, so no, that's a fake thing then.
And eventually, I thought that was the case, but then, like, eventually there are scenes where she's not in, like, especially when we get to the, the Parisian detectives.
Yeah.
There's just extended sequences in French that she's got nothing to do with.
And I'm like, I should be seeing what these guys are talking.
I thought the movie was being nice.
Like, hey, yeah, this is kind of dumb.
Look at your phone for a while.
Don't worry.
Don't worry.
Yeah, check out what's going on outside that window.
I mean, why don't you look out the window for 10 minutes?
We'll be here when you get back.
That's what I did.
Why is streaming so fucked, is my question.
Because Eric says it all the time.
There's no quality control.
Nobody cares.
It's not regulated at all.
I mean, like, you know, close captioning is like, I think still voluntary for streaming.
It's all like, all these laws were based on linear television broadcast linear television that doesn't really is not really working out anymore.
So there needs to be some.
standards in streaming.
I even want, you know,
full standardization.
I want to be able to turn the subtitles on the
same in every app.
Yeah, that'd be great. Why are you punishing me
because I'm hard of hearing?
But it also similarly, but
I would say, I would even say close captioning
this and that. That's important for accessibility for sure.
But the movie has subtitles.
The movie, it's the American version of the movie,
the movie that was released, has subtitles.
Right. Because the director wanted
you to know information that you are now.
keeping from me because you fucked up how the tracks were.
That should be hard-burned.
That's an error.
Thank you, Chris.
Yes, they should be burned in.
Hard-burn.
I don't understand that.
You know what's funny, though, is, and we trashed this, and I think rightfully so,
because it does get out of control.
On the first John Wick commentary we did, you can even hear my disappointment as I realize
it's a little too much.
We're talking about the stylized subtitles that happened.
And if that were the case with this movie, if there were,
like little cool purple flames attached
to them or whatever. Then it
would definitely guaranteed be
burned in, but yes, they should be
burned in. You shouldn't have
AI QCing the shit, which is what I
know you're doing. It's true.
You know, so anyway, that was
why pay a human being money for something? That's
fucking stupid. Why bother
doing the thing that's going to make your
the people who are paying you money
feel better about their product? Because they don't give
a fuck. It's just, it's very simple.
They got your money. Who gives a shit?
Instead of paying someone to actually make sure the film is right,
why don't we just give it to a software company
so it can go right to the top of that dreaded Silicon Valley?
Oh, my God, don't get we started.
So she gets taken up to this hotel suite, the presidential suite there.
I do like the shot she walks in.
She looks, there's like twitching dead body feet in the bathroom.
Someone's freshly murdered.
I was kind of cool.
Is this Richard or is this other guy?
Other guy.
I guess it wouldn't be rich yet.
Some other guys.
Well, it's two, it's two.
Gentlemen, we're looking at four feet on the ground.
There's two people twitching up there.
Who knows what they were doing, dropping off other stuff for Mr.
Jang or whatever.
But it's kind of funny.
Like, you know, maybe it was a different thing that was cut out of the movie or something.
You see, like, the one, like, tough guy, and they definitely focus in.
This guy's got a cool chainsaw tattoo.
And I was like, oh, that's awesome.
We'll have to use that to identify him later.
Nah.
you're just looking
at a cool tattoo for a couple
seconds I guess and on we go
It's just one of those things we got to in the millions
of years we've been here
Oh my God but we've wasted it
Eric I mean I took it
That is what he was using in the
bathroom but who
Again like yeah it's not a Chekhov's thing
They're just there to get the fucking case
Open and I do
I do kind of like that they have to get
the fucking translator on the phone
That's cool I like that
I like Mr. Jang's reveal of him coming out of the bathroom, completely covered in blood.
His shirts destroyed.
His hands are covered in blood.
He's wearing safety goggles, which is very funny.
And it's the great Troy Binsick, who is amazing.
He makes this movie kind of, honestly.
Oh, yeah.
He's a very cool villain.
You know, he's from old boy.
You'll know him from.
I saw The Devil, which is a great movie as well.
Oh, dude, I saw The Devil.
Fantastic time at the movies with that.
I mean, grim as fuck, but
Oh, sure. Awesome, you know.
It's Korean revenge cinema. What are you going to do?
It's all grim. Yeah. No, love this dude. And you realize
watching him and he's so good in this movie, you're like, oh,
it kind of sucks that he's the only source of antagonism other than her like play and beat
the clock, I guess, with this drug in her system.
At the end of the movie, he's coming out.
It's like he has the power to teleport between movies because he's in the last movie
And he's got this gun
And, like,
we're not doing that anymore.
Get out of here.
And it's like, no, no, we are, actually.
Didn't they tell you?
The gun caught got cut, you see.
She's a USBC, you understand?
You can't shoot a USBC.
But, yeah, so, like, there is this sort of English translator.
And again, this is kind of, I saw this is effective filmmaking
because I don't hear what the Korean gang is saying.
And the guy is explaining,
I only know what Scarlett knows
at the seat. Well, that was the cue for us
to call our own translators for the rest
of the movie and we miss that
because we're using only 10%
10% percent. We're limited. That's the problem.
We're not limitless. We are limited.
Well, in this instance, so now I'm
curious though,
did anyone have subtitles for this part?
I didn't. Because this is the part where it makes sense
to not have subtitles. Yes. There was no subtitles for this part.
No, I didn't have it on. I just
had it for that. All right. So this is like done
appropriately. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Because I just had, like, speaking Korean and then her English, yes.
He wants to know who she is, how she knows Richard, you know, what's, and what's in the case?
She has no idea.
And they're like, well, just open it up.
Mr. Jang insists you open the case, which is pretty good.
And I love this, like, 1.40.
And she's like, what is that number?
What does that mean?
Why do these guys have riot shields out?
Yeah.
I love this.
And Mr. Jang, like, goes behind the door out in the hallway.
That's great.
That's like what the dentist does when they use the x-ray machine.
And they're like, don't worry, you're not getting cancer.
You're fine.
You got that vest.
Oh, it's not going to fuck you up.
I'm not going to ride.
I swear, please don't.
Don't do this.
Whatever you're doing.
I'm not against the government in any way.
Just come.
Okay, fine.
And she opens it.
And it's, uh, four bags of bat salts.
That's exactly, yes.
This looked like some shit that can relax me real nice, dude.
I got like the iPad on the tub tray, you know, watching some cocktail videos or something.
I'm going to tell you, I saw what.
this stuff does, I don't think you're going to be doing
that. That's just my, I don't
think that's where you're going to go with this.
I don't, I don't
think in the year 2014, you should be
doing, we should have blue crystallized
drugs. This is the height of
Breaking Bad. We should go green,
go red, go purple, something.
I was, I was thinking it's a,
I mean, it's way more closer
to a purple than it is the light blue
of Breaking Bad. I didn't
think of Breaking Bad, to be fair. No, not
once, frankly. That's not where
my brain went. Are you on a rewatch of that
recently, Steve? Or? No, I just
I just, you know. I mean, it makes sense
for what you were saying. It just, it didn't. It's been a couple
years. Speaking of breaking bad, this is a role that I would like
is to be drug testing guy.
Oh, yeah. This is a cool gig. I mean, they shoot
them in the head. Not so bad either.
Can you do the, can you do a wiggle jiggle
though? You got to be able to do a wiggle jiggle. Oh, yeah.
You got to be able to do a wiggle jiggle. Oh, no, you got to be able to
Not the actor.
I mean, like, literally the job of being the drug testing guy.
Because you're probably in a, they put you up in a hotel somewhere.
You've got like, you know, maybe they got a TV.
I don't know.
I think they put you up in a closet, dude.
There might be a TV in that closet and you're on some pretty strong stuff.
Is hanging on for dear life because he's all, you know, he's, uh, strung out.
Strung out.
By the way, I wish folks at home could have seen Chris do the wiggle jiggle he was talking about.
It is.
It's a, it's a, I've, I've spent a lot of time.
getting it to where it is now.
I'm very happy with it. It's pretty great, dude, so now
I know what it looks like when you're O-Ding
in front of me. Yeah. That's why I keep
Narcan on me at all times, just in case.
I don't do
those drugs, everybody. No, no. But, yeah, this dude, I got
to tell you, Steve, I don't think they're keeping them in such great
conditions. I think it's like sub-Hary
Potter under the stairs. Like, you see this
dude's teeth and his clothes and shit?
You don't think that all I want is a mattress,
a TV, and a lot of heroin
is my goal. I don't. I don't.
think you're even getting that.
I mean, you, a shark tank, I don't think it's happening.
I don't think you're going to get some shark tank and like, oh, man.
And again, I have to highlight, the minute they saw him do the wiggle jiggle,
they shot him in the head.
No, no, no, no, no, he did the wiggle jiggle, and then he started laughing annoyingly.
And that's what I think got him the bullet.
He was still jiggling.
Don't you start?
Do you think he got to 11% before they shot him in the head or maybe like 10.5 a little bit?
That's a smile.
Well, that's probably a smile right there.
Oh, you know what?
He got to 10.5 and then he just remembered every Frazier joke that he never understood.
And he started laughing hysterically.
So that's what Sherry is.
Arthur Feedler's wake.
Oh, I get it.
No, that was a Simpsons Frasier joke.
So, you know, this dude gets shot in the head and then this translator is like,
hey, Mr. Jang wants to offer you a job.
I don't want a job.
and then she gets fucking pistol whipped
and then on screen
just boom, 1%.
Uh-huh.
And then we get the most boring
shit in the world.
Morgan Freeman, man.
This Life 101
lecture or something,
this is,
it's rough.
This is when the points start going down
pretty hard.
Yeah.
This stuff is difficult
because you're literally
just watching a lecture.
I get it.
He's really,
he's compressing quite a lot.
It's the Wikipedia.
version. Thank God for that.
But, like, it's still
not great. And I'm just like, it
adds a little bit to what's happening
in the action. But, like,
again, a lot of, again, I think you could
do this with one scene and be fine.
Question, because I wrote down to my notes,
this is Morgan Freeman mid-freefall.
And I think that's accurate.
Career freefall, I mean.
And what is the last time he's
cared about a movie, do you think?
I mean, was it the bucket list? Yeah.
I mean, you think the bucket list?
I don't know if he cared about the bucket
I mean maybe he's probably pretty excited to work with Nicholson
Yeah I mean I'm sure that he was having fun behind the scenes
But on screen he seemed like he's just kind of like there
What's that were all these old fuckers and we're going to rob people
And it's a remake that is last Vegas
No no no no no that's another one
Yes yeah that's the one
Do we do an episode on that we did yeah
And we also covered him in ritual killer on on screen live for a secret movie
This dude is checked out, and it has been checked out.
I mean, this is, this is, this is like transcendence era.
This is your transcendence.
He did, now you see me.
Oh, my God.
I'm coming to get you, Hossman, or whatever I'm doing.
It's, I mean, the Batman's, I think he's fine in oblivion.
Yeah.
And before that, it's like the Eastwood movies where he's actually giving a shit.
So he was in Las Vegas, going in style in a movie I've totally forgotten,
just getting started.
Of course.
It's Morgan Perman Taimley Jones and René Rousseau.
Do not forget the red franchise.
Oh, the red French.
We're old people and we can, you know, do, what are they doing that, espionage or something?
That sounds like that.
He's also, he's fallen.
He's with American Mike.
He starts as the speaker in that first one and then he's the president in the other two of those movies.
He's in a movie last year called Good.
Gunner as Kendrick Riker
a Luke
Hemsworth joint
Oh no
Why are they do
Why they're putting him in this third
Now you see me
Let the man retire
You ghouls
This is got to stop
Dude I'll tell you what
Forst retirement yes
I really please
Really great a joke on the studio
Where Dave Franco
Says something about like
I gambled away all this money
that I made on that fucking magic movie
referencing this
now you see me movies I thought it was fucking
He's also in a movie from 2003
that I've seen called 57 seconds in which
Oh I remember yeah
57 seconds in the past
And there's a I will say this again
Because it's the most interesting thing
It's ever happened in a movie
Morgan Freeman is hanging out with a dude
That's wearing a robe that has glowing blue eyes
That has never explained once in the movie
And the guy kind of doesn't do anything.
And he's like, you're a mortal combat character anyway.
And then like the movie keeps going on.
That is also a movie you talked about on an on-screen live secret movie.
Absolutely.
So, yes, he's got this, you know, the 10% of our brain shit.
There's a great moment where he goes, impressive when you consider what we've done with it.
And then there's just a fucking co-a-scotsie.
There's just a montage of human achievement.
I thought I was watching the series finale of Battlestar Galactica.
Right. I mean, because is this human, is this human achievement?
You know, the stock market, nuclear bombs, you should keep those out, maybe, dancing's fine stock.
Dancing, the stock market.
Just because you don't like it.
I also don't like blocking up rivers.
Human achievement.
Aidal.
There you go.
That's a huge human achievement.
It's a big one.
Do they figured that out on the first day?
Yeah, I think animals have that, right?
I think when we started at 1% we were fucking anal.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Yeah.
I think that's 3% actually.
That takes a little while.
Fingering is like 8% to figure out that, oh, that's where these could go kind of
Oh, sure, yeah.
That's where these can go.
I didn't know this could go there too, yeah.
But not comfortably.
It can just be done.
You know what's fun is getting fingered and then doing the wiggle jiggle.
When you get to 9.5, that's like feet stuff.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, you've got to actually be pretty smart to be into feet stuff.
Anyway, you guys, you want to meet up later?
Thanks for checking out my profile.
You want to put some icing on these Tootsies?
Come on now.
Just, you know, my profile.
Good morning, goddess.
I use 10% of my brain.
Show feet, please.
Oh, do you think Morgan Freeman is, that's what his problem is?
He's, oh, good morning, goddess.
I got to make some more money for all my little babies.
All my little babies.
You think he's a fintom?
Oh, dude, he's commenting on every yoga video.
there is.
The best part of his
lecture is when he goes
human beings are pretty
small but you know who's even smarter
dolphins. May I remind
you I did two other movies involving
dolphins, I believe. You know
if you could put a computer in front of a
dolphin, they could use it. That's right.
That's absolutely true.
That dolphin would discover internet pornography
in two seconds. It would use
its snout. We keep
trying it, but it doesn't work because we just throw the
whole computer plugged into the water
and it electrocutes them.
It took us a while to figure out they can come out
and type on a little platform
if we're on the side of the pool.
I was right, by the way, two
movie, Dolphin Tail and Dolphin Tail 2
as Dr. Cameron McCarthy.
Oh, excellent. I love those little fuckers.
You know, Chris, did you ever see the movie where, I think it's a
George C. Scott movie where a dolphin is going to
assassinate the president? Day of the Dolphin. Oh,
yeah, yeah, oh yeah. It's quite an interesting little
movie there.
Yeah.
Isn't that,
is that directed by the dude
did like singing in the rain and,
Don't it?
Someone of note directed that movie.
Maybe Frankenheimer?
Oh, it could be a John Frank.
Mike Nichols.
Mike Nichols.
There you go.
I was close.
Yes.
Mike Nichols.
Hello, dolphin, my old friend.
Should consider your future going to dolphins.
Now, no, Elaine, you have to listen to me.
Elaine, I need you to do some punch-ups on this dolphin script.
It's garbage.
if I don't get the dines in here.
Elaine, please, I know.
I know they stabs you in the back and all that.
Please just punch this up for me.
It's garbage.
Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me.
Yeah, Mrs. Dolphin, dude.
That's the move.
Man, yeah, we really should get to the bottom
of whether or not Elaine May was an uncredited script doctor
on Day of the Dolphin.
She could have been a dolphin herself.
I don't know. She's very smart.
Very smart lady.
But yeah, because of the 20% they have echolocation, which is like, I guess that allow, and again, like, if you kept it within this realm of, like, kind of telekinesis kind of stuff.
Yep, just mine stuff, dude.
It would be kind of a cool action movie, which this should be.
And then, you know, we'll talk about where it goes, but that's sort of.
He always fucks it.
That's, I mean, after the 90s, he just always ends up fucking it.
At the end.
This movie, you know, because it's so smart, it has the guts to ask through Morgan's Freeman's.
human's presentation, are humans more concerned with having than being?
Yep.
Yep.
Probably.
Roll credits.
Yo, teach.
Hey, teach.
In the back.
I got it.
Yep.
I also love this thing because somebody is like, so 20% echo location.
What would be 40%?
Oh, probably matter manipulation, a little bit of this, a little.
You know, I mean, every cell could do this, that, the other thing.
He's like setting up with this stuff.
He's like, that's why he's not, he's not doing this lecture in France or something, right?
He's not, he's not in the United, he got picked out of everywhere, you know, the U.S.
England, he had to keep traveling to find someone who'd buy his cockamini bullshit.
The ideas were too dangerous.
That was the problem.
Yeah, he's, yeah, I got to do an opening for a Roman Polansky Film Festival here in France.
The only place I'll have me.
They're also going to be given an award to Kevin Spacey.
Yeah, that actually happened.
but yeah so like it's like but it's so funny it's like 40%
like matter manipulation this idea
and then some guy raised his head
like well what would 100% be he goes
oh my god
I can't even imagine
I'm like you make it up anyway just say anything
just say something and make it sound cool dude
and everybody will think you're totally awesome
what's great too
not to get ahead of ourselves but the answer that
100% is well they'd give me something
really cool on a flash drive of your speech stink
And it's like, what?
That's a computer.
A hundred percent of human brain potential, you turn into a computer.
So she wakes up and she's in a hotel room, it looks like.
She's bandaged and sort of bleeding from her stomach.
And she gets forced in to see Mr. Jang there.
And in comes this creepy white guy who hilariously is just credited as the Limey.
Oh, I love that.
You know what?
That's cool.
And we learn, here's the deal.
No, we haven't stolen any of your organs.
We're not the Andethals.
We have taken these packs of these purple pellets and put them inside your body and sewn you back up.
And you're going to be drug meals for us is the idea.
I would stay away from spicy food for a little while.
Sorry for you, Italian guy.
He gives them all passports, where they're going to go.
And he says specifically, if you try and run,
when you get to the airport
our guys will meet you
will take the product
it'll be fine to be compensated
we try and run
we have information
on your families
so like you really got to do
they don't even say compensation
they say you'll get you the freedom
you desire
I see yeah
and she's got a great line
and she just goes to the sky
she goes
you're gonna sell this
and I'm like yeah Lucy
they're clearly drug dealers
dude of course that is what's going on
let's follow the movie
We might only castrate Lucy's nephew.
I don't want to keep talking about this Morgan Freeman lecture because it sucks.
But we do keep going, but it's a lot of the movie.
It's most of the film.
There's one part that I think is the highlight of it, though, where he's talking about cells only exist to, as he puts it, travel through time, which is to say, like, created age and die.
Right?
So that's travel through time, not like DeLorean.
and he says if they find a favorable habitat they will reproduce
which then cuts to one of Chris Cabin's favorite cutaways
these animals fucking yeah baby
and then including like some lady getting railed in like a people
mover or finicular or some fucking thing
or well it's a backseat of a car actually
just getting fucked in the backseat of a people mover
that's fair that's fair and then like oh
the purpose of them reproducing of course is to hand down
information to the next cell you see
cut to Stan Brackage's window water baby moving
It's just like
This lady's giving birth
There's all these like a rhinoceros is giving
You're just seeing little babies shoot out of all these animals
Sure
Yep
Anything to get this
And it doesn't even get it across the line
But anything to get this to 90 minutes
Which it fails at
Yeah babies they come out of holes
Most of life is about holes
If you think about it
So another 30 minutes with me
And we'll get back to whatever kind of weird action movie
this is supposed to be.
And by the way, this is not for cost credit.
This is an extra, this is a whole separate deal, okay?
There will be a finale.
There'll be an exam halfway through and then at the end as well.
Professor, I have a question, why am I here?
Well, I don't know.
The movie won't tell me.
Well, you're going to tell me what happens when we get to 100% children.
I have not read a full script
since the Shawshank Redemption, you understand.
What I get a cult?
pages. They are loose-scatted pages in which my character appears. Otherwise, I am
unconcerned with what's going on in the film. As to why your character, which is an
extra, is here at my lecture. Let me just venture a guess and say, free ticket giveaway.
You call the radio station. Congratulations. There'll be weird catered sandwiches later.
Those things always have weird catered sandwiches. It's disgusting. They're always gross. And I
I always say I like that he's like, when the environment is unfavorable,
people want to become crazy, self-interested immortals.
When it is favorable, they want to reproduce and actually become us.
And I'm like, okay, that's something I understand.
That is an actual fact that actually makes sense and actually is, you know, worth me knowing in this movie.
It's true.
That's a good fact.
And I learned, I never did find a favorable condition.
No.
I don't think anybody is, Eric.
I think that that's why Elon's problem with the birth rates might be happening.
Conditions seem very unfavorable.
Pretty bad.
Generally.
Just give people money, please.
So we got Lucy in a van with crime men here.
Yeah, you like that?
I do like that.
I actually, I do like the shot of her.
She's got a bag over her head and you're sort of seeing inside the bag.
And she's like in her head like, keep coming.
just chill out and see what happens, you know,
and like you're seeing all these cool lights,
you know, from outside, you know, wherever in Taiwan they are
and like all these neon lights hitting the bag
and then hitting her face.
It looks pretty sweet.
It was a moment of me sort of snapping out of it
and being like, oh, this is kind of something.
You're going to get through this.
You're going to make it.
You're going to be in a lot of Avengers movies until you're not.
And you're going to bury the guy from Weekend Update.
No, not the good one.
No, not him either.
Keep going.
There are good ones.
Well, this is what
I'm married to Scarlett Johan.
Norm MacDonald married to Scarlet Johansett's.
That would have been something.
Sure.
That was been beautiful.
How about Dennis Miller?
Married to,
married to Norm McDonald's?
I'm going to get under your skin, babe.
We crossed the Rubicon and got married.
You know, they did this a lot in ancient Greece, babe.
Oh, yeah, yeah, the butt sex.
That's Norm responding to him.
Oh, got it.
on their wedding night.
You got to consummate it. Come on.
Of course.
Wanted to be the real deal.
Well, this is, interestingly, so this is between,
so she had this, the seven years,
Captain America Winter Soldier,
which she's in a lot of.
But so this is, yeah,
this is in between Avengers
and Avengers Age of Ultron,
but also that was in between those two movies.
She's rocking it in fucking her.
Yep.
And chef, which is,
Not as good as her.
Her is voice only, but yeah.
Yeah.
But she's, I will say that, you know, just, well used.
She's not used.
We're having a lot of fun with Scarjo here, but she is an excellent actress when engaged.
When, when, like, she's, she likes the project and is excited about it and there's like something.
Like a marriage story.
Marriage story, she's fantastic.
Yes, and Morgan Freeman, we could say the same about it.
Yes.
Under the skin, she's great in.
The one thing I will just, I think Morgan Freeman is horrible in this movie.
I like Scarlett Johansson this
I think she's doing
I think she's doing exactly
what you need to be doing in this movie
which is crazy and not something I would
ask of her usually but I think
she does it well I love the scene
we're about to get to it when
it's the spinning room and like she's
going up on the wall
it's kind of a wiggle jiggle
yeah a little bit of a wiggle juggle
I mean Chris Cabin let's talk about it we're at it
right now as a matter of fact they take her from the van
to this place she's chained to a wall
this fucking scumbag dude comes in
fucking gropes her for a second
there. She makes note of that
and then does like
a I'm not in the mood kind of thing
and this dude beats the shit out of her
including
several rounds of Robert De Niro kicks
to the stomach right where you
guessed it that drug pouch is
sitting way down
in the ocean
your job
you're a drug mule pen
person you know what I mean you're supposed to get them
from point A to point B yes I understand
what treat human beans is garbage
but don't be kicking people in the stomach
that's what drugs are
Steve I'm gonna be
I don't think they hire the smartest people
for these positions
You gotta pay them and be done with them
So he's like a 9% or you're saying
I don't even think that Eric
I think we're down to six
I think it's also just like that's where she's hurt
That's what will inflict the maximum pain
Right now which I understand going for
I think it's also a problem of compartmentalization though dude
Like Mr. Jang's not telling the whole story
to everybody. That guy doesn't know
she's got a pouch of fucking space
drugs in her gut. It's like Opi, right?
Like Oppenheimer, they're compartmentalize.
That's a problem. Yep.
If he was up front about it, that dude
would know, oh boy, the drugs are in there better
not kick her in the stomach repeatedly.
But soon enough, she is climbing up the walls
literally. She's just twisting and turning
all over. And we learn that
it's because she got really smart.
That's why she's floating.
High smart. He kicks it. The bag
ruptures, you see. And all these
sparks and boops and bleeps are
going on in his stomach. It was like, I ate Taco
Bell that night. You know, it's like, oh,
ah! Dude, this
is another fucking, uh,
we also saw the beginning of those
Brian Singer X-Men movies.
Yes. You're seeing all these like
cells splitting apart and getting
eaten by all these purple cells
and whatnot. And I was like, Patrick Stewart
should be talking right now about something
related to mutants.
And yes, it is a cool,
it's a little bit of a
Jamaiqui video thing
it is cool
crawling around
totally this was some real
virtual insanity right here
at practical effect too
not using a computer
where you would almost
always use a computer
and I actually kind of think
it's funny that
something somewhat
similar habits to a bunch
of Korean
I guess they're just henchmen
in a hospital
and they do use the computer
for that one
I guess because it's a group
but we'll get to it
when we get to it. Uh, but so yeah, she's crawling around.
She's now, and she like kind of thuds after all the bleeps and bloops. And it goes,
and this is when we start getting the countdown. Yep, 20%. Oh, man, 20%. Uh, and so, yeah,
she wakes up, her eyes are totally blue. She's like, she gets up, she sits in this chair calmly,
waits for this dude to come in, uses her, uh, amazing sexuality against him by just
opening her legs. And this dude comes over thinking a porno scene's about to start.
I got to tell you, I thought this, I didn't, listen, I didn't look up a thing about this movie, I didn't read a plot synopsis, I didn't look at a trailer, I didn't look at the rating, I was, just based upon how the movie was going, I was like, she's going to start sucking him and then bite it off.
Oh, yeah. I was really hoping it was that kind of a movie, and it's unfortunately.
No, I wish, because there's, you know, there's, that would be something to talk about. Now, that's 20%.
What? That is indeed. What, what is? 20% of the.
episode. Andrew, what is the movie that put this
gem in your mind that we were going to reach
again? I think it was West Craven's last house on the left. I see.
Oh, okay. All right. But I think a dude gets his cockpit
in that movie. We forgot to mention here, we did another, we quick another
lecture when we get to 20%. Imagine if we could use 20%
we'd have control over our own body. I'm like, we don't have that now?
What does that mean? Yeah. Well, I mean, a disease can take over your body and
render it useless
but also you can like all your
involuntary stuff like pain
you don't have to worry about it you can just say oh
I don't want to feel pain I'm not feeling pain
I don't want to feel so Buddhist
Buddhist monks are at 20%
is that what I'm sure? Probably got to get them tested
they're very focused if I was running
a henchman academy which it might be
my retirement plan it's a good idea
one accuracy is
going to be we're going to spend a lot
of time on accuracy with our guns or bocasters
whatever we got going on
but absolutely
class will be like
if anyone comes on to you
if we have someone in prison
they don't have sex with you
it's an escape plan
they open their legs just leave the room
or just call for an adult
like say yell orange a lot
and then someone will come help you
you know what I mean
Steve are you calling that school
Shlubra Kai
yes
but you're totally right
that should be lesson one
if anyone you have imprisoned offers to suck your cock
they're going to bite it off. I want to add
something to the not smart thing
with these guys. They also don't listen
very well. And also
have problems with authority, usually.
So they, again, they
might have very well heard these things and they
might have just, like a fart in the wind,
might have gone away. Like a fart
in the wind. But you go to henchmen
school, you get a certificate from Steve Sadex
henchman school. Now, you know
you're getting the best of the best. Look out
over there. That guy's Shlubrakeye certified.
Question about your school here. Now,
If I get one of these guys and he dies, he fucks up, I get to go back for like a refund.
No, well, I, no.
Or I kill you now?
This is Steve Zanak operation.
There are completely 100% zero refunds.
Thank you.
I guess I'd kill you too now.
Listen, it's a certificate program.
You could fire the guy.
You know what I?
Fire the guy.
They lucy fired him.
You did need.
And I do think at some point there is going to be a tax investment.
on
Shalbukry and there's going to be
a problem there because I don't think you're going to do
I think you're going to hand that over to the students
Stephen I think they're going to have to deal with that
my students do my business taxes
I think so
but so this action scene happens right
she takes this guy's belt and
uses that as a whip
I don't like the action in this movie I'll say
because there's not really much of it you know
she does walk out of this room
and shoot a few guys that's cool
the rest of the movie she's making people
fall down or she's making them float
and there's kind of nothing
going on in my opinion. I need her
to be turning people into hamburger.
Thank you, yes. Because they make her too
powerful. If she's doing telekinesis stuff,
then we're doing like cool Guncata stuff
and that's a movie that I'll watch.
Some Jedi mind tricks, why
not? Yeah, that's like... Man, I don't know.
I don't know how my letterbox ratings
shake out or
whatever, but like...
I have a feeling... What was that Guncata movie?
Oh, equilibrium?
previous episode.
I think I found that slightly more
watchable than that.
In some ways.
In some ways, not in all ways.
I kind of agree with you, Andrew.
I think there's more of a fucking villain plot in that movie.
Yes, there's character motivation at the very least.
Don't worry, guys.
They're both stupid in my eyes.
So she shoots all these dudes.
We get her like eating a bunch of food because I guess it's been like in a 24 hours.
She probably hasn't eaten.
Probably quite a lot, yeah.
She realizes she needs the calories to keep going,
a deal and she gets in this she gets shot she doesn't feel pain she just looks like oh i guess i was
shot so well she takes the bullet out yes oh that's why she's like fishes around that shows she doesn't
feel pain she's like right it just it just like falls out like is that like i'm making my
poo float out of my body now because i'm smart she pulls it out she doesn't it doesn't fall out
she literally pulls it out i'm pulling turts that uh-huh yeah you know i
that normal thing we all do you little brains use 10% i'm pulling my shit out
with my head like a smart person would i'm not leaving it up to peristolsus like the rest of you cave
man it's like that me oh that meme template that's like the moron thinks one thing the regular guy
thinks this other thing and then the smart guy thinks with the moron thing so you get back to it
yeah so she uh gets in in this cabby's face and uh you know pulls a gun out driving to the
hospital or whatever and as we're going along here actually one good thing
real quick. She asks
if the cabby speak English, one guy
says no and she shoots him. That's not
bad. The other guy can't speak
English. So it's, take me to the
hospital. Eric, she's getting smarter.
The killing people is not something smart
people do. We all know this. She just did.
She just shot this guy.
She's not there yet. The whole shit
with, well, it's right here, right?
Because she is like sitting around and
she's listening to people on
cell phones yards away, right?
And then later, she goes into the
hospital, she's able to decipher
the Mandarin signs
directing her where to go in the hospital. Now,
here's the biggest, er, what are you fucking
doing with this movie plot hole kind of thing?
Like, why does this super
genius that she's getting and all of this
universal understanding, why does
that never come to her
actually speaking of foreign, a different
language? You know what I mean? And in that
instance, just dubber, it doesn't
fucking matter, but like the fact that that
doesn't happen, but you do
see her understanding signs,
I was like, guys, I'm out.
How do you fucking miss that?
It's irritating. She should be like, from the rest of this sequence,
she should be speaking, you know, Mandarin to these people.
She should be the fucking Star Wars Universal Translator.
Like, honestly, like, it's so dumb that they never take advantage of that in this movie.
She should be speaking fucking French to the cop.
That doesn't happen.
She should be C3PO. I agree completely.
Which are quite similar to your binary load lifters in most respects.
Oh, you're melting me down for parts.
Yeah, I get it.
That oil bath would just look pretty good.
Am I right, everybody?
Oh, thank the maker, this oil bath.
She's kind of taking an oil bath in that fucking sci-fi movie there.
Under the skin, yeah.
Yeah.
We're actually just doing Joan Rivers' character in Spaceballs.
Dot Matrix.
Yeah, it's Dot Matrix.
You know, dot Matrix is a classic character, so it's all right.
She goes to the hospital.
it's kind of cool
this is a cool sequence I think
she again and this fits
with the knowledge thing
she sees these people
these dudes
they're operating on a guy
and she looks at the charts
and she's super genius now
and she shoots the dude
and flips him off
and everyone's like
oh my God
she's like
you weren't gonna save him
anyway
it was an inoperable tumor
and then they just all go
okay you're right
white man
sure
she's also pointing a gun at them
so whatever you say
yeah that might have something to do with it
I don't know
this is the part of the like
she can just kind of do whatever she wants and it's annoying from at least me as an audience member like I'm staring at those x-rays she's looking at fucking head scans and parts of it are like flaring up and I'm like what is any of this yes and then she has to explain it two seconds later as you know to the doctors but to the audience like don't worry I'm still the hero I killed that guy because you weren't going to save him anyway and it's just like I hate playing ketchup like that with a script I don't think it's interesting I don't think it's any kind of like mysterious wave that.
you're putting over the movie,
I just think it's annoying.
That's fair.
I think the scene,
we're not there yet
where I'm like totally out.
I think the moment,
I've done bin out,
I'm sorry.
So she calls,
while they're operating on her,
she takes the drugs out of me,
fix my arm.
She calls her mother,
and this is like a scene.
I really like this.
I thought this was incredibly well done.
Well,
this is before she turns into a robot too,
which is also kind of stupid.
The loss of the emotion
is a huge mistake.
stake in this movie.
Yes.
Because this is good.
I will admit it.
This is good.
She's like talking to her mom and like, hey, it's like, she realized, I think she even says,
like, she's not going to live another 24 hours at the rate.
She's going.
She knows that.
I could feel everything, the space, the air.
Remember the cat with the broken?
You can't possibly remember that.
You were one years old.
I remember how your milk tasted in my mouth.
That's a Luke Bissan.
What if I put something in there?
Totally.
Some real fucking homeland.
or shit as far as I'm concerned.
Get sucking.
Thank you, mom and dad for the 1,000 kisses.
I do like her calling her mom.
I do like the idea of maybe understanding this character.
I wish we got more than just that she had a mom and dad.
Yeah, I'll tell you this.
I think she does great.
What was obnoxious about it, though,
whoever they have doing the mom on the phone is not reacting appropriately to
if your child called you from the other side of the world
and was talking the shit that she's talking.
You have to be freaking out.
You're on fucking drugs.
What happened?
There's nothing.
She says at the start of that phone call,
like the mom's like,
I hope you're not fucked up on shit again or whatever.
We're not partying too hard.
It sounds like party talk, right?
If you call me up out of nowhere,
I'd be like,
I could feel the fucking air in the space.
That's fine.
She's fucked up.
I wrote a lot of it down, too.
She goes, I can feel the blood in my veins.
I can feel my brain,
the deepest parts of my memory.
I can feel the pain in my mouth when I had braces.
Honey, go to urgent care right now.
Eric, Eric, you just did more than this fucking mom does in the movie, and it's ridiculous.
People need to start casting me as moms and movies.
Eric Siska as voiceover mom won.
Thank you.
I'd be a great mother.
If only I found a favorable condition.
I can feel the awesome solo in this song.
Like, go to urgent care.
You're not okay.
Someone has toast you.
I hope you're by yourself.
I am at urgent care.
Even worse.
All right.
Well, if you're at urgent care, find your way to the chillout tent.
How about that, whatever electric music festival you're at?
Get some art, babe, get some orange slices.
You're going to be all right.
It's ice water, art slices.
So the dude pulls this bag out, you know, while she's hanging up the phone here.
And he says, she says, oh, it's C-P-H-4.
Tell me all about that right now.
Let's stop the movie and tell us about this drug.
It's this like, oh, it's this compound that pregnant women produce.
It helps the fetus.
It's sort of like the big bang for the fetus.
It starts making it grow bones and this, that and the other thing.
And this dude is just like, I am amazed you're still alive to which she has a cool response here.
Not for long.
Which is nice.
Why is this going to be a party drug?
Oh, cool.
I got all this fucking awesome fetal shit going on up my nose.
Dude, that's right.
I'm growing bones like a baby right now in the clock.
exactly that's why you need you need that the fucking tweaker that they have test it and then they murder him
you need to have that guy be at a level where he can speak and like sort of explain some of what he's
feeling or whatever kind of a buttery aftertaste there's some woody notes underneath the
oh the turpines the terpenes in this CPH4 nuts a lot of pine
but yeah so like that she realizes
this and
goes outside and she starts looking at the roots
and like the root systems and
plants. Uh-huh. She's just staring
at that for a little bit. I would just be
if you're so smart, if I started
seeing the plants like this, I'm like, oh, fuck
I'm really high. All right, I'm just going to relax. You know
what I mean? Like, this will pass.
You know what I mean? Yep. We've all been
here where you're like, fuck, this is not going to go
away. Oh, yeah. Everybody's overindulged
on this podcast. Don't worry about it. And
in that moment, you just have to realize, like,
if you center yourself and you're like, look,
Depending upon what you took and how much of it,
this is your next, like, four to six hours.
Yes.
Put on a string of cartoons and just sit on the couch or whatever.
Don't go out, don't go outside.
Certainly don't go back to the hotel for Mr. Jang,
who's getting a tattooed done while he's got cucumbers on his eyes
and a little face mask going on.
I think she handles this situation pretty well.
She kills everybody and then stabs his hands.
You've got to kill Mr. Jang here.
I guess like she's above it.
or something. Well, she, or she sees, she's seeing the future and she sees his
place and all, I don't know. This is when it bothers me. She puts, this is where it starts
getting, she shoots all these dudes, it's a cool thing. Like, she's, like, amazing with guns,
because she's a genius. This part's fine by me, yeah.
She shoots through the, like, the door without seeing, like, and gets them all. And kills all the
dudes in the hotel space. I assume that's, like, a daredevil kind of a thing she could hear
to them. You know what I mean again? Sure, would have loved to have seen any of that, but I'm
looking at fucking roots from plants outside.
but she puts both of her thumbs and goes inside this dude's memory oh god yes this is like vulcan mind meld she does to find the other drug mules and it's like oh what's that well your brain is telling me well your brain has like a a fish eye lens above that room and I'm seeing that guy had a Berlin ticket Paris ticket Rome ticket thank you for sharing she does say thank you for sharing and just leaves him
screaming in the room.
Yeah, because she stabs them both in both hands, which is pretty cool.
Yeah, no, I like that, but it's like, it's, it's purely so you can have this dude,
you know, be at the end of the movie.
Also, though, Choiman Sick, like, dude is no stranger to screaming on cameraman.
He's great at it.
He does a great job at screaming at it right here.
And then we cut to Morgan Freeman at the Westin Paris saying, yeah, I believe I will be
having dinner here tonight.
I need a nap.
Can we go to the nap?
We cut away, that's it.
He just says, yeah, I guess I will have dinner at the hotel tonight.
Cut back to Lucy.
I mean, I don't know.
I think he needs some rest.
He's about to meet a supercomputer later, you know?
And he's going to be a one.
It also lets you know that this guy is successful, but not that successful.
He's in a Weston.
He's out of Weston.
I'll tell you this, though.
They're nice.
They are.
No, no, no, I'm not going to slam Westons at all.
We've stayed at Weston's on the road several times, and it's always been great.
But if I went up to the front desk and I was like, oh, hey, person working at the Weston, you know, I'm kind of tired.
I think I'm going to have dinner in the hotel tonight.
This dude would be like, well, I don't give a fuck.
It's this amazing how invested this desk guy is in Morgan Freeman's dinner place.
Once you get old, you can do this type of shit.
And I cannot wait.
Oh, yeah.
Gerard, could you come in here, please?
Yes, could you close the door?
Thank you, Gerard.
Gerard, I hear you told a customer, what the fuck do I care about what you're doing?
Sorry, Gerard, you will be fired.
We cannot be dealing with this.
I'm sorry.
To be fair, sir, in my defense,
as Gerard, it was Andrew Jupin
from We Hate Movies.
Oh, sacre bleu. Never mind.
Fuck that guy.
Who from what?
That's what I said.
I didn't give a shit when he was having for dinner.
Is that a hamburger restaurant?
What is that?
She goes back to what we assume
is her apartment and her roommate
Caroline is there. This is the one that's
played by Leo Tipton. She's like,
oh this you know
talking about her day
and like
you know
I got fucked by this agent
at a fancy hotel
that's her
she does a scan
of her body
when they meet
so she knows that
she's been doing
too much partying
she needs to go
too much partying
yeah she needs to be going
can I use your
can I use your laptop
I'm going to check my e-mail
real quick
oh I'm going to read
the whole internet
because I'm a genius
I just read the internet
back to front.
This whole like, it's two roommates,
foreign country, the apartment that looked
such as it was, I was like, is this
movie now going to take like an Amanda
Knox turn? Like, is that going to happen?
Like, the woman's getting murdered.
And she's like on the hook for it.
And she's got to do a bunch of Lucy magic
to get out of this murder beef. Is that the idea?
But she realizes
by reading the internet that Morgan Freeman
is the smartest brain guy.
And then she's like, by the way, he's the only one that gives
a shit about this.
by the way Caroline
your party it too hard
your kidneys are gonna give out
eat organic and I'd be like
oh great she did way too much
fucking I don't know what she did
she did way too many drugs
or it also sounds like she maybe did
join fucking Scientology
I don't know what's going on here
Your ear reading is way off the charts babe
The drugs finally broke her
Whatever happened it finally happened
It just she's no longer here anymore
Why couldn't and again
I love that this movie is 89 minutes
It's a masterful achievement
that it's 89 minutes
but why not start this movie
instead of like the hungover
next morning start it with
the partying let us see this roommate
let us see because like this roommate
is how you would see how she lives right
they can have a bunch of expository dumps
about finals and auditions
and whatever the shit. Objection your honor
this is binding in the movie Romulus
this is something I am not concerned with
I want to know anything about this character
of Lucy and I know that she's a
40 year old student in
Taipei. That's it.
She's got a bad roommate.
That's all I know. I don't
need to know. Like, if it's the
partying I need to know about, we see
the partying, he's like, dosing
her at the beginning.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not partying?
No, it is partying, but
it's a dialogueless
montage. I just want, like, you don't get a moment.
As much as there's, like, the credit sequence
so I can settle into the movie, give me just a few
minutes to settle into these characters, because I'm sorry
the whole, like, we're just going to
start at the start and it's going to be jumping with it like it's at least for me it's not the
breakneck speed action whatever that i think other people making this movie thought it was going to be
i agree with you i mean because it's i mean at this point they're just all unsympathetic characters
because i don't know anything about them i don't care about them there's no like i there's
nothing that makes me think oh lucy i hope she makes it you know yes exactly i don't give a fuck
what happens to this person and it's a huge problem for a movie and this is when she turns
into a robot. Like right around here, she's
doing... It's an airplane. It's a
plane ride. That, to me, is where
things really just go south. It's when she
starts turning it to dust
on the airplane ride. Or before
that, when she's changing the color of her hair
on the plane, like she's fucking miss out of here.
Guys, we're getting ahead of ourselves because she
calls Morgan Freeman on his
television at this point, right?
Dude, like the game or something. Yes, thank you.
Hello, Morgan Freeman. I have a
sexy actress here who's going to talk to you for
little bit. The TV's talking to me again. Better order dinner at two-the-room.
Also, by the way, I'm alone in a hotel. You better knock before you fucking call my TV,
FYI. Oh, yeah, absolutely. If you got eyes on my room, you need to give me a few minutes before
that camera lens turns on. Oh, I didn't expect this guy, Johanson. Oh. And no, maybe I'm not
fucking jerking off to pornography. Maybe I'm just naked eating a pizza, and I don't want you
see in that either. Either or. Those are the two choices.
Well, she's smart enough to know exactly when you'd be naked eating a pizza and jail at the same time.
She can see pretty well.
Me in a hotel is like that when Marge is selling real estate and the front of the house falls down and it's Lenny and it's like, please don't tell people how I live.
Like it's that, that's me at a hotel, dude.
Please don't tell people how I live at a hotel.
I already know.
Hello, Professor Norman.
You might want to take that belt off your neck before we start talking.
You know, statistically, you're in a lot of trouble jerking off like that.
Especially for a guy your age.
That's a losing bit.
And you were watching Molly's game?
If only this happened earlier, she could have saved David Carodine.
Oh, man.
Everybody's like, what?
Oh, my God.
She's like, you're the foremost brain expert.
And I'm calling you because of that.
And he's like, I can.
I said, I read all your reasons.
You read all of my research.
Oh, 6,492 pages of it.
It's kind of great.
She's like, your work is rudimentary, but it'll do, like, or whatever that line is.
I love rudimentary, though, which is great.
But she's talking about, yeah, what's happening to her.
She's at 28% at this point, I'm colonizing my own brain.
She says, I can start to control other people's bodies.
I'm controlling electromagnetic waves, TV, phone, radio, electricity.
And then, yeah, this is where she makes the lights flicker,
Like it's a altergeist, and then she comes on the TV.
She's cognizant of what percentage she has.
That's pretty stupid.
It's pretty smart, actually.
Yeah, you're right.
You don't know what a percentage you got.
I'm low.
It's low.
It's got to be low.
But then it's just weird because she's like, yeah, all, you know, I don't feel pain.
I don't understand fear.
I have no desire.
All these things that make me a human being slash a character are fading away.
Like, and I'm just sitting there like, okay, so now this performance is going to start to get real boring.
And it does.
Yes, it sure does.
And she's like, I'm going to be in Paris 24 hours.
And we're going to figure.
Well, she actually asked him, like, what, what should I do with all this knowledge, you know, basically?
Because I don't have desire anymore.
I don't know what to do.
And he's like, well, the one thing human beings want to do is pass it off.
You know, so maybe do that.
I don't know.
What are you going to write some of this shit down?
What's this fucking flash drive shit?
Yeah, well, that's the mystery, right?
Like, we don't, we're not, we're too dumb to, they, we're too dumb to understand how.
smart whatever is on that thing is. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, she bids farewell to the roommate.
Yeah, she tells her to go to the doctor and stop drinking and whatever. She's walking around
a mall right here and we see that she is on the news. She's on the hook for the Mr. Jang shooting
incident or whatever. This is where she's changing her hair color and shit. She calls the
Paris cops, Bing, 30%, just so everyone's on the same level here. And so now that she's at 30%
when she's on the phone with this guy
being like this, that, and the other thing,
here's how I'm going to make you believe me
pick up that red pen on your desk next to you
because I can just, I don't know,
see through the fucking phone or see through your webcam
or some shit, I know what's on your desk.
I can see it on.
Hearing your voice, I can hear it vibrating
off of all the different items in your, right?
And I can see it all in my head.
She also does a crocodile dundee to these dogs, by the way.
Oh, she sure does, dude.
She stares this airport dog down.
This dog's sniffing around where it shouldn't be.
And she just goes, oh.
That's how I vocalize a Scarlett Johan's stare.
And then this dog goes,
I would love that fucks off to like, you know, antagonize animals.
You don't need superpowers to do that, dude.
I think you know antagonize an animal.
Yeah, I think you could go to, most people go to juvenile detention for that error.
And then grow up to become serial.
killers later. Thank you for saying I look so young, Chris. You do. You look beautiful, buddy.
So she's like, hey, these three dudes are coming into these three cities with this fucking magic purple rock powder shit. You should get them. And we get a quick. I like this montage. The dude in Berlin arrested immediately. The dude in Paris arrested immediately. This dude in Italy in Rome tries to book it for a second. Nah, he's tackled immediately. No, he's tackled immediately. No, always the Italians, isn't it? Jesus Christ. But yeah, they are
question, is this guy supposed to be an Italian
the guy who goes to Rome? They don't
I don't think they tell you. It's just
whatever. There's talk, I think it's like
you'll be home. I think it's supposed to be your
home country at least. So I think
so. Oh, it is. Okay. Well, because
the guy, the guy going
to Berlin, we hear
talk later and he's like, yeah, I'm just from
Germany. Whatever. We don't hear the
Paris dude. But the Rome guy,
they're like, oh, could you come this way with us, sir?
Right before he runs away. And you just hear him. And he goes,
yes no problem
like it's just it's a total not Italian accent
it's weird but yeah no I just looked it up
in this that guy is an Italian actor
and I wonder if it was a dub or something
the French guy is a French guy
so what of interesting
like things about the movie
is a global human experience
that's why there's the Korean
mob and the American
and there's an African American guy
you know what it's about globalism
that's yeah exactly well you know we're not
too different you and I
we all want to
fuck 15-year-old girls, right?
Right?
You're talking about Luke Besan voice.
Oh, God, yes.
See, you did your Luke Bassan voice
in an American accent,
and look what happened, dude.
It was a huge disaster.
That's something, like,
because it's showing all the different people,
so you could do a movie like that,
Steve, Luke Passan,
Woody Allen,
Roman Palance.
Oh, man, the expendables.
Oh, boy.
The very expendables.
Actually, we got to,
call it the dependables because we're wearing diapers.
Did we just, were you going to do the same joke?
I was going to do it that the babies that they like to have sex with you wearing the diapers.
Oh, I close enough.
Cut two, so she's on this plane and this is where, yeah, we crossed the line into just
unimaginable stupidity, but seconds before it, I do love this, I'm on two laptops and I'm
just moving my hands.
It reminded me of whatever that, that Seinfeld is where Kramer gets the fake job and he's
like pretending to be on the computer.
and he's just jamming the keyboard.
Like, you can't...
It's amazing.
And it's not a scarlet thing.
No.
You know, it's nobody can make fast typing like a genius look believable on a computer.
You just like a little kid being like, I'm working with daddy at the office.
Like, that's what you look like.
It's great.
It's also very much, that little boy is playing three games of chess at one.
Check great, check right, checker, check, check, right.
Exactly.
I don't know what we're going to do, Roman.
We need explosives experts.
you know i have brett ratner's phone number in my case
put him on
Kevin spacey just turns out i'm putting together a team
uh i do
it's yeah it's it's uh john milly is
it's uh who else is uh mr fucking x-men
Brian Singer of course
he's part of the dependables but you know what no Brian Singer
because you have to get one of them to be a villain too
Brian Singer's got the villain look he's
He's got a bare narrow face.
He could be, he's getting a little reptile look to him.
They're all villains, Chris.
Well, it's true.
My favorite line of the movie, she's got.
That's a tagline.
I'd like some, yes.
I'd like some champagne, please.
They give it to her.
First of all, I'd be getting shit-ass wasted.
Of course.
All this shit's going on my brain.
The only way to cool it down is some sweet, sweet alcohol.
24 hours to live?
You know, even more of a reason to be shit-faced.
Uh-huh.
And so she's just, to knowledge and takes the champagne.
To knowledge is,
pretty great. Oh, oh, my teeth
are falling out. There goes a tooth.
There's more. When you're at
40% dude, apparently your teeth
start falling out of your head. But is you taking
the drug that babies use
like they use it. The babies
are shooting it up. No,
that make them grow
you know, bones. So I think she should
have more teeth coming out. Yes.
There should be teeth under the teeth that she's got
more teeth. Giant Scarlet Johansson.
I'm just saying.
Oh, there you go. I mean, she honestly, she should look
like that dentist's illustration
of Lisa not getting braces
and the tooth
is just going through her upper lip.
Honey, I blew up Scarlet Johansson.
The skin starts to peel off.
But it's more like it's all turning into
dust or something. Computer. It's all
it's it's all it's the
blip. That's supposed to be computer.
I mean, it's the computer that did it.
Yes. And then I'm going to go to
the Beartreub and she goes in
and her face turns into
the fucking end of the ring and I'm like
this is not the movie I wanted
to watch and also like speaking
of Brian Singer I mean the whole her flaking
off here funny enough I didn't think of the blip
I thought about when Gene
Gray kills Xavier
in Last Stand and he just
kind of flakes away to nothing
and I'm like all right well now I'm just
thinking about watching fucking X-Men movies
even one I don't care for and I'd
rather be watching it than this movie well
and then she turns into complete dust in this
bathroom I've done that before but like
we cut to her waking up in a hospital bed and it's like
what exactly happened after she's exploded into light
but no but first she's munching on those fucking blue
drugs to think she allows her to reconstitute herself
thank you that's right that's right like me with a buttery
corn on the cob dude she is just
I kind of love that I love that it's so disgusting
it is it's the most disgusting she's ever been on camera
it's so funny
And they're like, ma'am, ma'am, I'm taking a huge shit.
Do you mind?
That's going to get everybody, you know, whatever.
Yeah, just, oh, well, we better back off.
She's taking a huge shit.
That's why she used telekinesis to throw my co-worker across the room here, you can see.
I'm pulling turds out of my ass.
That's how smart people do it.
Just like Stephen Hawking did.
He's the one guy that could.
Professor, I'm shitting.
so they get to the airport all these cops are here these french cops and she's like i need to talk to you
alone cool move here she makes all these other agents go to sleep and they just drop down and she makes
the bullets just fall out of this dude's gun pretty cool stupid thing here but at a certain point
yeah when she's getting on the plane because everyone's looking for we say that she like
changes her hair like mystique to like a long straight black hair look yeah it's clearly a wig
but still pretty awesome the rest of the movie she's got this like
dye blonde hair. You can see the black roots.
And when she's not doing it, she goes
back to it. That doesn't make a ton. You know what I
mean? Like, wouldn't she just make herself
a regular blonde then or
something? She wishes.
I don't know. I don't know, I don't
know, Eric. And at
this point, I believe she wakes up in the hospital
and they're like, oh my God, she's got 50%
or something. And the reptile eye happens
for two seconds. Yes. I think this
is the reptile eye moment. It's a bunch of different eyes.
It's not just a reptile eye. An owl eye, you get
You get the whole thing.
It's right before she knocks all these Frenchmen out.
So we're up to 40%.
So this is...
No, we're up to 50%.
Okay, 50%.
This is what?
The reptilians, right?
Because that's real.
So certain politicians and stuff have that reptile eyes.
Sometimes I've learned from Info Wars.
So they must be using 50% of their mind to have that kind of eye.
It's true.
Just saw the movie Lucy and never saw a stronger.
indictment of the campaign of Hillary Clinton
in my life than the film
Lucy with all the reptilian eyes.
But it is accurate to what
that experience is like.
I've seen this all happen
in front of my very eyes, folks.
I have, of course, unlocked
45% of my own mental
capacity. And you can too with this new
Lucy dust that I'm selling.
Yeah, that's right, folks.
This is genuine Lucy
dust and that movie is spilling
state secrets. C.H.P.
three. It's just like CHP4. It does the same thing. It also might cause you to grow a third heart.
That's right. Contact me now to get your CP. Right on in. That's right. Lucy does.
You completely made up of the ground powdered bones of Scarlet Joe Hanson. You snort Scarjo. You are
unlocking another 40% of your mental faculties. And I'll tell you, when you unlock that much of your
mental capacity, the
possibilities of chili recipes
is through the roo. Oh shit.
Yeah, dude. Wow. I'm reading
all the recipes for chili on every
laptop. Every chili
recipe that's ever been written on
grandpa's notepad taped to the back
of peepa's workshop. I've become
chili destroyer of toilets. I've seen
too much chili recipes.
Chili's have been rendered inconsequential.
I can no longer make a chili.
I must make a burger.
And also act now folks.
get the Lucy dust, I will send you a t-shirt that says, I use 60% of my brain, but my daughter
still won't talk to me.
Now, if you, excuse me, I got to float into a Wendy's and use my brain powers to make all
that chilly float right into my mouth.
It's an exclusive here with InfoWars that we have, the new strain C-P-H-5, and that is true.
Folks, you will build a new brain within your head with this.
If you just take whole boxes of it.
and eat them with your hands.
You will become a greater person.
You will also lose that beer belly in six to eight weeks at the same time.
Yeah, get your CP from InfoWorce.
To knowledge, the knowledge of Jeffrey F.C.'s death, by the way.
Oh, bye.
Hey, Bruce, do you know, is your nuts sac supposed to actually melt into your thigh?
Because that's what I got going now.
The CPH5, I don't, I do feel powerful.
I will tell you that.
I feel very powerful.
He's not going to be, he's not fine.
and his own testicles, that guy.
No, no, they're long gone.
The doctor is like, I gave her a sedative.
She should be out for hours and she wakes up.
Yeah, she's doing Professor X shit or whatever.
Right.
She ends up watching cell phone signals like it's the Matrix code.
Yes, they're riding through Paris and all of a sudden she's like pinching strains of
information like it's Minority Report also.
Sure.
Whatever the fuck ever, movie.
This is when they start.
Is this the car chase?
well that's being cut in with the Koreans taking the packets out of the
of the other uh the other the other fellas that got arrested if you're watching this
movie and you see a woman almost turned to dust and then go to the hospital and get to
Paris you would have guessed that the Korean gang some plot was over uh-oh it sure ain't
because they're here now in Paris and they're part of the movie ladies and gentlemen
Well, when they're the only antagonists
you have in the fucking first place, dude,
you've got to keep him around.
Also, I mean,
Mitzvich has a tendency to be obsessive.
He was obsessional, boy.
He just might not be able to let it go.
Right, right.
But yeah, they're grabbing all these
blue dust at a different hospital
that they're kind of rushing to, right?
They are, they are, yes,
she insists on driving.
She forced, force pushes him into the shotgun seat.
she's speeding to a hospital from
the airport. That's what's confusing
about it. She wakes up in what is seemingly
like a medical room and you think
hospital again and it's just like a medical
room at this airport that
it takes the movie way too long to leave.
And this detective is Amurwa Kidd who's
you know kind of the
I guess a love interest question
mark. No.
I mean
I think like she calls him a reminder
and I think that I mean if I had to
take it I would say that's a joke for like what
this movie should be the cop trying to
fucking solve the fucking problem
but like no it's just like oh
here's somebody to kind of be your
handler for like a little bit
but we can have a kissy
a little kissy I guess yeah
I could jerk you off with my
mind
we encountered this fella
in no fewer than at least
two previous episodes he's
in Wonder Woman 1984
and he's also
in Geostorm
I don't even remember Geo's storm, but I guess we covered it.
But this is when...
His big thing was he was one of the big dudes on that Netflix Marco Polo show.
He was a little bit, yeah.
And he's not bad here.
He's fine.
He's got jack-all shit to do, but sure.
It's a big old car chase.
This is what the movie turns into dumb, Lola, dumb for a second.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Now you're cooking with gas.
That's 50% right there, this is sadac.
That's what I like it, Mr. Sanex.
But, like, it's stupid and she's using magic.
Like, would it make you a cool driver too?
Like, you're never going to get into an accident?
I guess so.
Also, when she says, because he's like, you know,
where did you learn to drive like that or whatever?
And she's like, I've never driven before.
At this point, I was like, all right, now is there some sort of,
is it an alien symbiote thing?
Is that the twist?
Eddie, I've never driven a car before.
She turned into Venom goop, so yeah, maybe.
Maybe.
Yes, dude.
A couple clues here.
I was like, is this a secret venom movie?
Could be.
I do like this.
The massive shootout in this hospital is pretty awesome.
She gets there just in time.
Give me the case.
Boom, 60%.
She is, again, it's just, whatever.
It's, I guess, neat.
But it was driving me nuts because there's no rails.
She's like, oh, now I'm going to pull.
put like an invisible wall in front of this guy.
I'm just altering this man's reality
so he can't run away with the suitcase.
With my own mind that he's not,
you know, it's one thing if I like put people,
I don't, like put him under a spell of simulations,
but just changing the world around you because you're smart.
I don't really understand.
It's, it's, because I feel like this is, this is the moment.
I'm stupid.
In film, I mean, also by the way,
we should say this movie was a huge success.
It made almost half, half billion dollars.
Really?
A $40 million budget.
Where's Lucy, too?
Good question.
I think, well, Scarjo can't come back unless you can get sued.
Well, we'll get another Lucy.
But this is, I think, random pet theory is that this is like a moment in, you know,
blockbuster filmmaking or filmmaking when we're like, Avengers had come out.
We knew we liked superhero stuff, but we didn't know what to do with that.
So we just were kind of throwing shit at the wall.
Like, what if I made my own superhero, which were resoundingly everyone's,
said no to.
Yes.
The Han talk theory.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that movie at least, I mean, you're like outright saying superheroes and shit.
This is like kind of not that.
I do want to point out though the fact that, I mean, yes, insane almost a half billion dollars at the worldwide box office.
Also, almost $35 million in Blu-ray and DVD sales.
Nice to.
Oh, yeah, baby.
Holy shit.
July 2014. What a time to be alive. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Transformers Age of Extinction. Tammy, Lucy, the Purge Anarchy, 22 Jump Street. How to Train Your Dragon, too.
Are you naming all the movies that came out that year? This is the highest grossed in order of July.
Okay. Okay. Okay. This movie was released the same day as that Hercules movie that Paramount had with Dane Johnson. Oh, yeah. And that did.
very bad.
I remember when that came out.
Oh, no. It was the Conan movie.
Wasn't there a Conan movie?
There's a Conan with Mooa. That's MoMAW.
That was the Conan movie, a guy in my office
that I didn't like very much at the time.
Still looked like him. And I got fired
for that job. I like, but
he was like, tell it everybody's
like, oh man, tonight, me
and the boys are going to see Conan.
Me, the boys,
Conan, tonight.
You see it, O'Brien? Oh, man, that's awesome.
So he's great.
He's so good.
Me, the boys, definitely not our girlfriends who totally exist.
Me, the boys, and no one else in America are going to see the new Godin movie.
Sorry, you missed it, Steve.
It was a great night with me and that guy.
You were the boys?
I was the boys.
That was 2011, by the way, when that movie came out.
That sounds good.
Steve, wait a second, though.
So did that guy, what was that dude's like, did he have a report on Monday morning
about what he and the boys thought of the movie?
I think he liked it.
I think him and the boys had a pretty good time.
Sure.
It was a great night.
So, yeah, she, you know, she rips all these dudes in the hallway, like guns and knives
out of their hand.
She's just casually walking toward them and, like, make them all, like, float up or whatever.
And then suitcase guy, first he experienced a fake wall that he couldn't walk through.
And then she, like, just freezes him and gets, you know, the suitcase or whatever.
Suitcase guy now becomes the number two
Because the movie's pretty much over
But now he like
There's a number two of the gang
And he's he's it essentially
And there was a great
I was saying how the subtitles like
Fucked Me before
Which they did
But there was a great subtitle moment
Where she goes to get the last baggie
Which is left inside
The Dead Italian guy
Who got shot in the back
Running away in the in the fracas
She goes to just put her hands
inside the sky
and the subtitles
it was just all caps
and it just goes
squishing.
Yeah.
I like it.
Oh,
it's squishing, dude.
And then this is where
it's like the
pseudo,
you know,
a romance or whatever
with Amora
Ken's character
where she kisses him
and he's like
sacre bleu
and she's like,
I guess it's just
like to remind me
about humanity or some shit.
I don't know.
Bye.
Because he's like,
would I go with you? And she kisses him. And he's like, I guess I will. You're a sexy
lady. You're a little old. You're like 25 years old. And the writer of this movie thinks you
are a little old. So whenever she gets to Morgan Freeman at the university, he has gathered
a couple of his colleagues and fellow intellectuals. Now be cool, you nerds. There's going to be
an attractive woman coming in here. Everybody gird your lawns. Don't get sweaty. That's going to be
Your first feeling, I don't want it happening.
She appeared to me in my hotel TV last night.
I promise you, this is a real thing I'm telling you about.
I do like that he's like, I've assembled top men.
Yes, dude, top men, I couldn't believe it.
Yeah.
Really fucked up things she does here.
And I guess it's like, because I don't got no emotion no more or whatever.
This one scientist is like, so can you, like she explains everything.
And Morgan Freeman explains everything.
And so he's like, can you give us an example of like your gifts or whatever?
And she walks right up to this dude, looks him dead in the eye and tells him she knows all about this fucking dead child he's got.
She's dead zoning people now.
It's a little late in the day to start dead zoning people.
Your daughter died in a car crash at six.
The car had leather seats.
How would you know that by touching this guy's shoulder?
She read the internet.
Yeah, you're right.
No, you're right, Eric, because she says, she said, like, Morgan Freeman's like,
this is Dr. Johansson, this is, and she cuts them off and it's like, I know everything about
all of them. Yes, okay. I have become Facebook. I mean, she is, I mean, we're, we're setting up
for her to do a lot of time traveling, but. Yeah. It is suggested that she can do that.
And they, that, that is, it's not internet shit because you flash back. She says something about
a bird hanging from the rear view mirror and you flashed to the rearview mirror. And,
her experiencing the world
through his eyes. Yeah, yeah. Right, right.
Yes. And this is like, she makes this
big, it's almost interesting.
The speech about like, he's like, so
math and like, she's like,
no, not math, time.
Because you think one in,
you think one and one equals two, but one
is always equal one because there's either matter
or time, those are the two things.
And time is the only unit of measurement because
it measures how matter exists
in the world. And I'm like, sure. That's kind of
an interesting idea. Like, okay, this is kind of
core idea but if that's the case
time should be the one thing
she cannot manipulate that you know what I mean
like if she is matter and time is time
she can't touch time that
is the only thing if there's ever a rule of this
sloppie movie that should be it
Steve she's at 64%
oh you know what happens at 64%
I had no idea
I do like her line to your point though she's got a really cool line
all social systems we put in place
are like it's like a sketch
yes you know
and it's it goes into like
we've put value in things like
paintings and diamonds and monies fit
and all this so we've just we've just decided
as a civilization like
this is how all of these systems should be put in place
and it is kind of neat that her point is like
what if we didn't do that but like
the movie's got 14 minutes left
so I guess we're not going to really find out
except in this weird tree of life
montage bullshit thing we're going to see in a second
it's like what Morgan Freeman is like
I'm not sure mankind is ready for this.
Might bring us instability in chaos.
Oh, ignorance brings chaos, not knowledge.
I'm knowledge.
And then she starts puking light.
Yes.
She does indeed.
A pukin light and shit in math, man.
And my dad's gambling from the computer at home.
She's also slowly like a curing things.
Yes.
The things are melting together, turning into this black.
mass of something. Yes, this is the venom gloop and then like her gloop is connecting with the computers and it's like, ah, she's hungry for our energy and matter. That's why she's eating our computers. And outside, the French and the Koreans are going at it like you wouldn't fucking believe. It's another movie, man. Meanwhile, in movie two, yeah, exactly. When she is venoming and she's like, all her goop is going all over the place and like, by the way, Andrew, you said this before, but she does the hand thing, she gets like a monster.
she gets a witch's hand for a second.
It's pretty stupid.
But she's doing the goop and it's like,
oh, she's making a supercomputer.
She's like grabbing the computers,
grabbing the computer towers.
And she also very notably infects the printer,
which made me howl with laughter.
Oh my God.
She's using the printer.
She won't even need,
she's so smart.
There's no cartridge change.
It's amazing.
Wait, is that?
Oh, my God.
That's my face smashed against the plate.
Oh, my.
How'd she get that?
How can she do that?
My butt cheeks, too.
Oh, my God.
Her venom goop is becoming the ink to print on.
Oh, no, she's reprinting all those photocopies from the Christmas party of last year.
I have become Hewlett-Packard.
Destroyer of worlds.
Yes.
She puts everyone in this white void, which means her.
It's like the Matrix startup room for absolutely no reason.
Other than to reference the Matrix, I can't figure out why else you would do it.
There was definitely a meeting where they're like, okay,
What if, like, speaking of a cure of Chris,
is like, what if we give her big old, like lizard,
like big old, big old brain thing?
Like, you know, to be bulging brain with the vein kind of thing.
But then they're like, nah, she's got to be hot the whole movie.
Sorry.
Dudes want to be jerking off all 89 minutes here, all right.
Look, no, okay.
We'll let her face turn into the venom group at the very end, okay?
How about that?
Right at the end, it can turn into the venom group.
So we're at like 90% and the movie two is breaching containment
and breaking into movie one.
That's right.
So there's like a bazooka
about to go off at her or whatever
so that she just zooms away
to the Eiffel Tower.
And that sends her into time travel mode
where we are seeing the whole damn thing
and we're going to all the big spots.
New York City, of course.
Yeah, baby.
That's the big place.
Times Square we get to see in 1900 or whatever.
It's not smart to go to Times Square ever.
There's no intelligent reason.
If you're using 90-something percent of your brain,
we know where near time square.
Steven, the Virgin Megastore used to be there.
If you're going back in time, there was a reason.
It's not there anymore.
Sometimes people need to transfer trains there.
Occasionally.
You could go back in time, though, and you could see where Mr.
Durst was trying to shop that one time.
Yes, you could.
That should be in this montage.
I should be in this.
Me getting yelled at by Fred Durst's bodyguard.
Oh, the universe is crazy.
A bed bug ridden theater right there that you go to,
occasionally. It's got a lot of movies. It's a big
place. They renovated
the regal. I used 90%
of my brain. I'm
going to the Bubba Gump shrimp
factory. See? It's
that meme where the dumb guy and the smart guy
are the ones that are right. I use 90%
of my brain. I'm going to sit here
and tell you with a straight face that
raising canes, fried chicken strips
are fucking worth a goddamn.
I haven't had him. I can't tell you.
I'll tell you. Listen, here's the thing.
There's nothing to write home about.
Okay.
It's just, it's just a chicken tendee.
Sure.
And in a blind taste test, it would just fall in with all the rest of the dude.
What is this?
I'm going to tell you, I've tried, like, because I was told forever that I had to try
the Chick-fil-A chicken, and I'm going to tell you right now, it tastes like shit.
It tastes like absolute shit.
It's just regular.
I still never had Chick-fil-A, but I had this raising cane, and, uh, yeah, I don't know
what all these European tourists are wasting their time for in Times Square.
I use 90% of my brain.
this Disney store is slightly bigger
than other Disney stores.
Oh, we could get all kinds of
M&Ms here.
Percoise M&M.
Pastel M&M.
I use more than 10% of my brain.
That means eating at this planet, Hollywood.
It's the same food, but more expensive.
Did you know there's chicken guy now?
Guy Fierry opened a chicken place.
There's the TGI Fridays.
Right near it, you could pay $35 for a hamburger.
of TGI Friday's hamburger for $35.
All of the knowledge of the universe
is allowing me to see Mrs. Doubtfire on Broadway.
I don't see the history of Ruby Tuesdays.
They did have the shrimp.
You know, it's really smart
that all these Broadway shows
are now just movie adaptations.
So, yeah, she's going back in time.
We're seeing some Native Americans
while she's just sitting in an office chair.
That is the funniest part of it.
This whole montage, she is just comfortably in an ergonomic office chair.
And one of those Native Americans is played by an actor named Kevin Dust.
I was hoping it was Durst, but it was.
Oh, no, damn it.
Well, I mean, come on.
Yeah.
If you, I mean, what is something that you can do where you can sit down on an office chair and see the entire world?
Well, that's a computer you're talking about right there.
That's right there.
That's what you're looking at.
she gets back to dino times of course and i got to tell you guys this dinosaur is straight out of
the flintstones that comes charging at her this thing it's so bad it's a living but here's this is a thing
that like also you should have learned your lesson from you know movies like tree of life
movies where there's there's no real business for dinosaurs to be in them in other words a movie
where your focus is not the dinosaurs yeah so like anything that's not like a Jurassic park
movie or a 65 or whatever those movies those movies focus on the dinosaurs scarjo we will see her
this month in one of those dinosaur movies sure but movies that don't have dinosaurs in them predominantly
that decide to have the one dinosaur it will time it again look like garbage every time yes well sure
yeah yeah i mean but how else are you supposed to know what time it is that's how you know i mean it's
it's a dinosaur i mean that's how about here's one chris no they have the the cool aerial like she looks
up and there's like a teradactyl or whatever.
Sure.
And then maybe she just hears a roar or something.
And it's like, oh, God.
That might work.
Not to be whatever, but like she sees a dinosaur and then she, we're presumably going
back further in time.
And then she sees Crow-Bagnan man.
And then I'm like, wait a second, unless she's going, oh, shit, I went too far.
Like, aren't dinosaurs like a lot earlier?
Yes.
But I think it's, I think what happens is that fucking, you know, Dino, the dinosaur there,
spooks her so much.
She's like, ha!
and like goes forward a little bit
has that thing there touches
touches fingers there with the missing link
or whatever and then this like
2001 shit happens where I think
you're supposed to believe it's going like
back before the creation of the planet
back before the big bang
all the way back to the fucking
the first trickle of piss out of God's cock
and
we are trickle of piss out of God's cock
please pick up our new EP on Bandcamp
we're GrindCore
we're very good and it's important
because everyone is still giving a shit at the end
of this movie while this is going on
uh-oh she's only at 99%
oh no well here comes 100 and she's going to turn
into a USB drive but here comes
Mr. Jang from the other movie
he's gotten through every other
baddie that like
and whatever I think even
her boyfriend there has shot the shoulder
your classic move and
he's about to shoot her in the head
and she we get to
a hundred the cell phone is finally
at a hundred percent, which always takes fucking forever.
And she disappears.
Her dress is just like on the chair.
She doesn't take the office chair with her either,
which I thought she loved.
No, yeah.
She just like completely vanishes.
This is where we part ways old friend.
Goodbye office chair.
We literally saw the creation of the universe together.
Should have left that back in time, you know.
And I'll miss you most of all, Wayfair,
office chair
archaeologists uncover
a wayfar office chair
dating back to the start of this
dude and that's
that sort of reverse engineers
all them ancient aliens history channel
shows yes because they found that office
chair but no he Mr.
Jang she disappears he's about to shoot her
what and then he is lit up by
the detective which is like it's like
okay cool I don't I've never cared about
this character even though by the way
the French act I love that
the fucking name of the character
is Pierre Del Rio.
He should have a tropical shirt on.
This is not correct.
You got the Del Rio name.
That would actually be pretty sweet.
She's got this stupid,
it looks like something at a Zach Snyder's Justice League,
this whatever dark side computer she's got going on.
Yeah, it does.
And the goopy part gives Morgan,
as we talked about multiple times,
a goopy flash drive.
And then I think the French guy's like,
I guess she has gone forever.
and she gets a text
and says, I'm everywhere.
Yeah, I got right into
transcendence the movie.
She's become God, I guess, is the idea.
And that's the ball game.
It is.
Life was given to us a billion years ago.
Now you know what to do with it.
Do I?
No, nobody does.
Stop it.
No, nobody does.
The best decision this movie made
was ending it with Damon Albarn's sister Rust.
Great song.
No?
I've never heard it.
Yeah, I'm not familiar with this.
Oh, I at least figured Chris Cabin would
have come in with the Damon Albarn knowledge.
Oh, no, no.
The dude from blur.
And it's in great solos.
You got to say dude from blur and I'll be like,
that's a key right there.
Or guerrillas.
Dude from gorillas.
Yeah, there you go.
But yeah, anyway, yes.
On his little, this shitty flip phone,
which I don't think would be like connecting
to a cell tower in 2014.
but yeah he flips it open
I am everywhere
even the Matrix or something
you're in it now
it's just whatever man
it's a huge one I mean
and it is it's got to be a testament
to Luke Besson being such a piece of shit
that there isn't a second one of these because you
I mean the money justifies it
or a bullshit TV show
they keep on letting them make movies so
I mean that must count for something with the
Lucy making money because you would think they would just
stop. Maybe it's still coming, you know. The IMDB trivia says that this script took nine
years to write, which is shocking. That makes sense. Yeah, but in that like, not that like,
oh man, it's taking so long to crack the story, probably more in like the, yeah, I guess I'll
work on that fucking thing. I don't think they, they never cracked the story yet. No, I think it's
like Burns is Bobo the Bear. It just, you know, it was, it was left under snow for a while.
Went on an ocean voyage for a little bit.
Should say, though, at least it was announced a year after the first movie.
It is on his IMDB.
He is apparently, yes, writing a sequel to Lucy 2.
There we go.
For Lucy 2, rather.
Well, so what is the USB drive going to grow legs?
Oh, yes.
I hope so.
That's what I'll say.
You are supposed to warn school children about snow closures.
Oh, man.
That is the end of Luke Besant's Lucy.
Go around the horn here for some final thoughts.
Mr. Siska.
Yeah, no, I understand that a lot of people love this movie, and that's fine.
Maybe if I saw it in 2014, I would have looked on it more favorably.
But I think the action is kind of weak.
I think it's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
But then again, I'm dumb.
So maybe it's a really smart thing, and I'm just not grass.
Because I'm more of a primordial ooze kind of fellow.
Yeah.
Definitely more oozy, yeah.
I just don't get it.
Did anyone get it?
That's my review.
I don't like it.
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a not recommend for me.
There you go.
Steve Sadek.
It's a recommend for me.
I think it's stupid.
It's, it's one of the stupidest movies that's out there.
It's really like, it's one of a kind.
And like if you had to listen to this podcast, which you just did, we spoiled everything.
Like just sitting there for the first time and going through wait.
Now we're Harris.
She's turned it into dust.
What's going on?
Like, it's one of those things where like,
It's a seeing as believing recommend for me.
That's where I'm at.
There you go.
Chris Kamen.
Oh, yeah, a big recommend for me.
I mean, I think this movie is at least trying.
Like, the setup would suggest I think the movie that we're all like saying in one way or another, this movie should be.
Like maybe that makes her like super professional guns and she could do all this super karate stuff.
And I'm like, I have those movies.
I don't, not only do I have those movies.
I have the B versions, the C versions, the D version.
and the e versions of those movies and like I don't need another one and there are I'm probably
gonna stumble on to some good ones just because I watch a lot of shit anyway but like I don't need
them so at least what I like about this is that it is like make the movie where he she is
looking at the roots of trees way the movie where she is not necessarily just like out guns
and killing and revenge like I just it doesn't necessarily came with me whereas a movie where
like she is sincerely trying to tell her mother
goodbye and then she's trying to like
find heart and like she is being told
like here's you have everything
that the world could ever give
you you have this 100% ability
to see everything what can you do
with that and it's a genuinely hard question
and it's like what the internet
this question is really like
well you can only tell
people to look at it and see it
like that's really really all you can do
and like it's stupid
at the end don't get me wrong
it's fucking stupid. The last half,
once the airplane scene
on, it's so stupid, I can't
even tell you. But like,
and in that, I think
it is worth seeing because it's a, it's a
more interesting
stupid movie than normal.
It's a much more interesting one,
I think. At Grock, is this
true?
Well, actually, this, uh, yes,
this is, you are talking about
the movie Justice League, which is directed
by Satt Snyder.
yeah you know i've talked a lot of shit here today and i guess it's the slightest of recommends
if only and it's not for you the listener because if you haven't watched this and you heard us
talk about it it's meaningless about what i'm going to say but i think like if you tell someone
else look do you know anything about the scarlet johansson 2014 movie lucy and they say no
yeah then you could say watch this it's 89 minutes and it's going to be some
of the dumbest shit that refuses to come together
you'll ever see in your life.
And that for me was what was going on.
I didn't know a thing about this movie.
I barely remembered that it existed.
And the whole time it's unfolding, I was like,
oh, it's getting dumber.
Oh, it's getting done.
And every time I thought it was like the dumbest
it could get, it got a whole lot dumber
every single time.
So for that, I guess it's an achievement.
Chris, I understand what you're saying about, like,
we have all those revenge movies.
We totally do.
Of all, letter grades of movie production quality,
you are right.
And while I appreciate things taking chances
and original ideas and whatever,
like none of this comes together.
It feels completely half big.
I mean, this motherfucker should have been,
but it should have been spent in nine more years
on this fucking screenplay.
If this was what the final outcome was.
Put it back in.
He's not done yet.
But that is going to do it on our episode

But it is a franchise
They made a few of them
And we got to go back
You know to our roots a little bit
And kick around something like Beethoven
Takes place in summer
For at least portion of it
Exactly
